Hi,
I am trying to design Document Management System using JSR170
impl(Jackrabbit).
Checked out graffito framework but it has its own complex layers for
persistence conversion, versioning, locking.
JSR170 impl already provides implementation for versioning, locking etc.
I found jcrmapping layer very useful for persistence , services and
mapping java objects to nodetypes.
Few questions :
1. Is it a good idea to use only jcr mapping layer and design a Document
Management System .? Depend on JSR170 impl for versioning, locking etc.
2. Checked out the model for CmsObject,Document,Folder and their
corresponding mapping files in test code . These seem to inherit from
nt:base and then all basic properties fr files/folders seem to havebeen
custom defined. Why can't we use nt:folder as supertype for
graffito:folder and nt:file as supertype for graffito:document and
inherit the properties as it is , instead of defining them in mapping files.
Thanks,
Ruchi
